Really enjoyed day 1 of my #QualitativeAI course. Fab engaged & thoughtful students prepared to critically engage with when #GenAI is not appropriate for #QualitativeReseaech as well as when, why and how it might be. Ethics questions high on the agenda and great to hear a variety of perspectives.

I’ve spent time with industry researchers, government researchers & academics/students discussing AI for QDA.

Synergies in perceived dangers, challenges & opportunities & differences based on contexts & impact of research findings.

Today I'm writing about the role of #CAQDAS tools in achieving and demonstrating quality in #QDA and am reminded of this quote by the great Clive Seale. Written more than 25 years ago but still very true...
Qualitative Inquiry, Vol 5. Nr 4, 1999 465-478
#Qualitative #QualitativeResearch

Quote by Clive Seale on purple background:

"A lot of effort has been expended by methodologists over the years, trying to give some guidance to qualitative researchers in improving or judging the quality of qualitative research.

You could say that all methodological writing is ultimately directed at such a goal, because the idea of writing about how one can do research is presumably aimed at giving other people some good ideas on how they might proceed with their own studies" (1999:465)
